UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

LEONHARD J. HOHL, OF OROVILLE, AND ROBERT SCHORR, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.

ARMOHED CONVEYER-BELT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 27,1905. Serial No. 289,223.

To a whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, LEONHARD J. HOHL, a resident of Oroville, Butte county, and ROB- ERT ScHoRR, a resident of San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco, State of California, citizens of the United States, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Armored Conveyer-Belts, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to armored conveyer and elevator belts, the object of the invention being to provide means for protecting the belt proper from wear, such as is caused by the impact of the material conveyed thereon or by the material sliding down on the conveyer in case the conveyer is working at an incline.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a broken side elevation of our improved belt. Fig. 2 is a cross-section thereof. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of a modified form of belt. Fig. 4 is a broken plan view. Fig. 5 is a broken plan view of a modification. Fig. 6 is an enlarged sectional view showing the means of securing the armor to the belt. Fig. 7 is a similar view of a modified form of attachment. Fig. Sis a plan View of a modified form of armor, and Fig. 9 is a broken enlarged section of the same.

Referring to the drawings, 1 represents a flexible belt supported upon rollers 2 and passing around a wheel 3. In order to protect the belt from wear caused by impact or friction thereon of material conveyed by the belt, there is secured to the belt a protection 4 of metallic netting, wire lath, wire-cloth, or the like.

In Figs. 1 and 2 the netting is shown as applied to a flat belt, in Fig. 3 to one which is concaved.

In Fig. 4. the netting is shown as continuous, extending the entire length of the belt, while in Fig. 5 there are shown only strips 5 of such material secured at short distances apart.

The metallic netting may be secured by steel staples, as shown at 6, or members of the metallic wearing-belt are drawn through the flexible belt and riveted on the under side.

In Figs. 8 and 9 the protection consists of transverse steel bars 7, arranged at short distances apart.

While we have herein shown only a belt used for conveying material thereon, it is to be understood that the invention is to be applied to elevator-belts which travel at an angle and to which are attached buckets, and the worc conveyer in the claim is to be used in this broad sense.

We claim In combination with supporting-rollers arranged at short intervals to support a belt to convey material thereon, a conveyer-belt of flexible non-metallic material having sesecured to the surface thereof exposed to wear flexible metallic protecting material, substantially as described. g

In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
